SALT LAKE CITY -- Most families have their own Christmas Eve traditions, but we found some Utah families with a tradition we found remarkably in keeping with the Christmas spirit.
They show up every Christmas Eve at the Road Home to make and serve dinner to the homeless, at their own expense.
Volunteer Rich Martinez said, "We call it our chili dog Christmas. So for about 10 years now, we get chili dogs, come out every year with the kids and set up like this. These people here, we see them very year. It's a little competition to see who gets here first. And we just try to feed as many people as we can. It's a fun time."
Rich says he and his family served about 300 chili dogs this Christmas Eve.
